Blow the Candle Out Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I was apprenticed in London, I went to see my dear
The candles they were burning, the moon shone bright and clear
I knocked upon her window to ease her of her pain
She rose, she let me in, then she barred the door again
[Verse 2]
I like your well behaviour, and thus I often say
I won't rest contented, love, while you are far away
The roads they're so muddy we cannot gang about
Come roll me in your arms, love, and blow the candles out
[Verse 3]
My mother and my father in yonder room do lie
Hugging one another, so why not you and I?
A-hugging one another without no fear nor doubt
Come roll me in your arms, love, and blow the candles out
[Verse 4]
And if we prove successful, love, pray name it after me
Keep it neat and kiss it sweet and dap it on your knee
When my three years are ended, my time it will be out
I will double my indebted, love, by blowing the candles out
